Channel: Mike Wilcock. Rails in Wales.

Description
Starting at Lancaster, where I was born many years ago, a six minute clip of lost services and liveries back in 2003. A couple of 37s services fly through Pontyclun before I went to catch a 56 travelling up to Parc Slip from Margam Yard; note the large hole in the ground where the stone is quarried for P.S. Next a couple of movements through Pyle, steam loco trio near Bishton and finally a foot crossing nearer to home; but where?
